"Had it not been closed, I would’ve popped into Wilensky's Light Lunch to try the special grilled sandwich — all-beef salami and all-beef balogna with a swipe of mustard on a roll — and although I probably would’ve liked that cured-meat combo, I wasn’t upset to miss it given the rest of the tour." - Morgan Goldberg
